  Case: Seriously
I am a Lesbian and will soon be in the classroom teaching. What I find to be discouraging is that students will be able to tell I am lesbian by just my looks. I am worried that they will not respect my title and me as their instructor. How can I bridge the gap between them disrespecting me/ judging me and them respecting me regardless of how I look?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First off you are lowing your expectations of yourself and your students. If you do not have confidence in yourself then your students will eat you alive. Your classroom has nothing to do with your love life. Also, you cannot judge these kids by how young they are. You could have students with two moms or two dads. You have to remember the society you are teaching in today. I think the only thing you need to worry about is the questions they may ask you. I think you should have a baseline answer for them, and then explain to them that we are not here to talk about your personal life, but to teach them.
